Subject: mm: Add min_free_order_shift tunable.
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~4090^2~884
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6df890364b72edc57fb74aa0f59668450fa678ff;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

mm: Add min_free_order_shift tunable.

By default the kernel tries to keep half as much memory free at each
order as it does for one order below. This can be too agressive when
running without swap.
